The JWST Just Identified A Supernova From Only 730 Million Years After The Big Bang
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detection of the supernova’s host galaxy. Webb’s quick-turnaround observations verified data taken by telescopes around the world that had been following the gam…
The James Webb Space Telescope has just found a new astronomical wonder, a supernova (GRB 250314A) dating back nearly 13 billion years, while the Universe was only 730 million years old. This prowess doubles with the identification of the host galaxy, which is totally ...

Webb Discovers the Most Ancient Supernova Explosion Ever Recorded
Astronomers utilizing the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have identified a supernova explosion linked to gamma-ray burst event GRB 250314A at a redshift of 7.3, occurring when the universe was merely 730 million years old. The previous record-holder for supernovae was observed when the universe reached 1.8 billion years. This discovery is detailed in two [...] The post Webb Discovers the Most Ancient Supernova Explosion Ever Recorded ap…
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a 13-billion-year-old supernova. ESA reported a gamma-ray burst from a star that exploded just 730 million years after the Big Bang, and Webb also discovered its galaxy, according to RBC-Ukraine, citing Engadget. The supernova is more than a billion years older than previous records. Previously, the oldest recorded supernova was a star that exploded when the universe was 1.8 billion years old—a differe…
